The truth will set you free and it will also help you to find out the difference between drinking buddies and real freinds!
Real friends you can tell you have a problem with alcohol and will support you 100%.
Drinking buddies could care less whether you drink or not.
Next time you have them over to jam tell them there will not be any booze, your real friends will show up, your drinking buddies won't.
I have real friends that drink, they do not drink at my house, not because I told them not to, but because I was honest with them and told them I have a problem and they really care about me so they do not flaunt it.
My daughter asked me if it was okay if they drank at her wedding reception, I told her no problem because if I start getting bothered by it I can leave. I stayed the whole time and thanks to AA it did not bother me in the least.
People who like or love you will support you.
You need to decide which is more important, your sobriety or your drinking buddies.
